I thought that only happens when the Canadiens and Leafs are in town but it was almost as bad when Vancouver was there. You could clearly hear the "Luu" chants for Roberto Luongo and loud "Go Canucks Go" chants that drowned out the Sens fans. I have seen fans of other teams like the Bruins, Flyers, Wings, Oilers, Flames and even the Jets show up in large numbers at Scotiabank Place. The Senators are the only Canadian team not to sell out their home games and thousands of fans of other teams, excluding the Canadiens and Leafs show up at Sens home games and drown out the Sens fans, this is unacceptable!Also, I did not mention that at the December 10 game against the Canucks, at least 30 to 40% of the crowd were cheering for the Canucks.

Is that true because it certainly looks like it. I agree that in 10 to 20 years when the Sens fanbase will be a lot bigger and there will be a lot fewer Habs and Leafs fans at Scotiabank Place. The percentage will be around 15-20 % Habs and Leafs fans, maybe even lower as the Sens fanbase grows. However, Sens fans will have to live with the plethora of Habs and Leafs fans.Yous said that the games in Ottawa when Montreal and Toronto are in town the fans at these games are very one-sided in favour of the Habs and Leafs.

Yes this Unacceptable but maybe due to the price that increases by 25% for these games scares away the Casual Game day ticket buyer. i know id be going to all these games but 100$ for a 300level tickets doesnt interest me and 220$ for club seat. Thanks god these were free tickets.I was at both of those games and yes i feel that Nov 4th was a 3/4 Habs crowd and Dec 27 was probably 60/40 Habs.

The problem is, it is like that all the time whenever the Canadiens and Leafs are in town. Montreal fans make up about 2/3 of the crowd at Scotiabank Place, as do Leafs fans. That is unacceptable, don't you agree? What do you think the percentage of Montreal fans at the December 27 game were? They were even higher on November 4, which was a Friday. That day, someone told me that 3/4 of Scotiabank Place were Habs fans. Incredible to think that 75% of the crowd at a home game are cheering for the visiting team.I saw the game on December 27 and the crowd was anywhere from 60 to 65% Canadiens fans.
